Ethical Partners urges NSW to roll out Modern Slavery Act

Boutique group Ethical Partners Funds Management is one of 117 signatories pushing for the NSW state government to implement its Modern Slavery Act from next year. In an open letter to State Premier Gladys Berejiklian, the coalition of organisations, academics, lawyers and community leaders has called on her to expedite the passage of the NSW Modern Slavery Act so it can be brought into force from 1 January. The original act was legislated in 2018. On commencement, commercial organisations with employees in NSW and an annual turnover between $50 million and $100 million will need to submit a statement to the Anti-Slavery Commissioner, outlining the steps they have taken to reduce the risk of modern slavery across their operations and supply chains. Ethical Partners Funds Management sustainability and advocacy manager Robyn Parkin is one of the signatories listed in the letter.
